Living in Starling

Researched October 2026 by our team · facts checked October 2026

Starling sits in northwest Edmonton’s Big Lake area, next to Trumpeter and Pintail Landing and near Hawks Ridge (City of Edmonton neighbourhood map), with streets named for its birds: Starling Drive, Robins, Sparrow, Hummingbird and Chickadee. Lois Hole Centennial Provincial Park and Big Lake give this corner of the city its character. The neighbourhood has been building for some years, so new construction and resale sit on the same streets.

Life in Starling leans outdoors: Lois Hole Centennial Provincial Park and Big Lake are nearby, with trails, boardwalks and a globally significant Important Bird Area (Alberta Parks), and the Big Lake area’s paths connect the neighbourhoods around the lake. St. Albert Centre is about 6 km away in a straight line, and Yellowhead Trail runs toward downtown.

New build or resale here?

Resale homes from its earlier phases come with finished yards, fences and the first owner’s landscaping; the new construction of the current phase comes with the builder’s warranty, today’s energy code and a chosen floorplan. Ask us for current comparables on both sides.

About this information. The guide’s text was researched October 2026; its facts were checked against official sources in October 2026. Distances are in a straight line from the centre of the outline on the map — to Edmonton City Hall for downtown, to the passenger terminal for the airport — rounded to the kilometre (those points © OpenStreetMap contributors); they are not driving distances, and the guides give no drive times. Homes for sale and the figures from them: the MLS® System (REALTORS® Association of Edmonton), read at 10:46 p.m. Edmonton time and rebuilt into this page every morning — homes only (houses, townhomes, condos and duplexes; no land, rentals or commercial listings).
